One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press Guide

Hold a kettlebell by the handle. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebell towards your shoulder. Rotate your wrist as you do so, so that the palm faces forward. This will be your starting position.

Dip your body by bending the knees, keeping your torso upright.

Immediately reverse direction, driving through the heels, in essence jumping to create momentum. As you do so, press the kettlebell overhead to lockout by extending the arms, using your body's momentum to move the weight. Lower the weight to perform the next repetition.

This is one of the most effective exercises for building deltoid strength and definition. Unfortunately, the video above demonstrates a form that will cause unnecessary strain in the elbow and wrist when you start lifting heavier kettlebells. The clean should bring the bell to the rack position, with the hand toward the middle of the chest, wrist straight, and the elbow tucked into your ribs. The bell should come up in a smooth arc to naturally rest on the top of the forearm and in the crook of the elbow. When you do the push press, this will help guide the bell in a movement more in line with the center of your body (easier on your spine while still working your core stabilizers), and your wrist will naturally rotate the palm outward to the lockout. When you bring the bell down, return to the same rack position. This will provide faster gains and explosive strength.-See Less
